The Pursuit of God
By A. W. Tozer
- Release Date: 2015-07-01
- Genre: Christianity
Description
To have found God and still to pursue Him is a paradox of love, scorned indeed by the too-easily satisfied religious person, but justified in happy experience by the children of the burning heart. Saint Bernard of Clairvaux stated this holy paradox in a musical four-line poem that will be instantly understood by every worshipping soul:
We taste Thee, O Thou Living Bread,
And long to feast upon Thee still:
We drink of Thee, the Fountainhead
And thirst our souls from Thee to fill.
Come near to the holy men and women of the past and you will soon feel the heat of their desire after God. Let A. W. Tozer’s pursuit of God spur you also into a genuine hunger and thirst to truly know God.

5By Daniel_12_TorresThis book is great. Honestly it touched my heart so much. I love that it isn’t full of fluff but that it hit deep and revealed some very real stuff. I would 100% recommend this book to every professing Christian. Even if Background beliefs are different it still challenges you.Excellent excellent book
5By Yvette L. T.This book held my attention as well as was challenging and intriguing at the same time. I am certain that I will reread in a few years as a reminder of how to honestly pursue God. It’s excellent as it helps the reader to probe himself in an honest manner and gives a perspective on what bonds us to secular life. Read it.Refreshing View
5By lamayesThis book confirms want our heart wants. A deep relationship with our Lord.Extremely reflective
5By Thepromised_KenyaI read a chapter of this while I breastfed my baby to sleep every night. It was a really good read. The prayers were beautifully put and the overall call to pursue God was not only theologically sound, but they warmed my Christian heart in a way I hadn’t had in a long time!Great Book about walking with Jesus in the present
5By Pete1611This book is a devotional. Each chapter is a daily devotional. The daily readings are longer than most devotionals, but worth the time.Challenging your walk with Christ.

5By AntJamesThis was a really great and insightful read I hated to see it end!!!Strong Emphasis to Truth
5By tim.bethelThe truth in which I have found hope in through this book is that we will all go through circumstances, and we are called to face our eyes and minds towards Christ for what His truth will do is set us free to newer capactiites then we can ever understand.Bogged down
3By Cowgal33There were definitely some good and encouraging points made in this book, but I got bogged down in reading it after awhile. I had to force myself to finish it.The Pursuit of God
5By myJesus4me!That God is with us always in a spiritual reality is a concept I never considered before. Heart, Soul, & Spirit surrendered to God, the “I” in my life’s journey has changed. All Glory and Worship to the Awesome “I AM”. Inspiring and thought provoking.Pursuit of God
5By €kayGreat writing and clearly Biblical teachings.Good
4By Swan rockA good read, but you do not really know the Catholic faith. We offer every second of our lives to God. We don't knock other religions either but we do fight evil as peacefully as we can. Fran
